Administration officers confiscated the pies from passengers and

If the pies were considered too dangerous to bring aboard airline
flights, how could it have been safe to distribute the pies to our armed
forces?

The armed forces have publicly demonstrated their disregard for human
life, even there own.

Larry,

This is one of the most crass, ignorant and unbelieveably stupid comments I
think I've ever read here. This even surpasses our little buddy Mx.

There has never been a military in the entire history of this planet which
has had more destructive power and shown more of a desire to NOT use it than
the military forces of the United States.

Good point. Still, to be fair to Larry, but not to put words in his
mouth, I think he just meant that people in power have demonstrated
their disregard for our military. Certainly our own military leaders
do what they can to avoid unnecessary warfare or experiments. It's
usually the civilian leaders who have less regard for (knowledge of?)
the consequences.

Particularly at the very top.

Larry,

You left out the adjective 'truthful.'

Does not one who enlists in the military demonstrate his disregard for
his own life and those whom he intends to kill?

This even surpasses our little buddy Mx.

Not that is a low blow. :-)

That may or may not be true, but it has nothing to do with what I
stated.

I suppose that means that you prefer to stick your head in the ground
rather than discuss the topic.

Jay is right, you are off the deep end.

No. That's the perspective of a civilian who's never served, and thus
has no idea who the (U.S.) military is really composed of. They're
just ordinary people, and no, they have no desire to kill anyone, or to
die themselves, any more than someone who gets a driver's license
demonstrates such thoughts.

Those who enlist demonstrate their willingness to suffer hardship in
return for the greater good. This could be a desire to do something
good for themselves, their country, and/or the world in general.
